Training & Events

***MARCH***

Eyes and Ears

FREE 

Monday 3 March

10 till 11.30

in the District Council Chamber

Facilitated by East Cambs District Council

It is impossible for professional forces, such as the police or local authorities to see everything that is happening around us.
This is where we as a community and as individuals can make a real difference to the lives of people.
The Eyes and Ears campaign is designed to empower you with knowledge about many issues people in our communities are facing, as well as signs to look out for so you can spot if someone may need help.

It also signposts you to the right people to talk to about each different issue.
The first step for anyone interested is to read the Eyes and Ears booklet.
